Quote

We talked about politics constantly in my family growing up in North Carolina. There were always debates. Being of Greek background, it's in our blood to drink coffee and talk politics.

I'm terrible about people wanting to take pictures with me. I'm a giant baby about it. They treat you like a cartoon. There's nothing you can do except make light of it.
Zach Galifianakis
Image
A good stand-up, you lead the audience. You don't kowtow to the audience. Sometimes the audience is wrong. I always think the audience is wrong.
Zach Galifianakis
Image
When you're doing standup you're kind of doing, Hey. I thought of this. This may be funny.
Zach Galifianakis
Image
I find anger to be funny. I find people that are so wrapped up in their own personalities to be funny, and lost. Like myself in real life.

Image
The congressmen and senators used to go have a drink in D.C. They would disagree all day long, but they would find that time to sit down and learn about each other personally. I think that's totally wiped out I don't think it really exists anymore.

I think if they put a laugh track on 'Intervention,' it would be funny.

My dad doesn't get any of my jokes. He laughs at them, but he doesn't understand them. He's just laughing because people around him are laughing.

At what age do you think it's appropriate to tell a highway it's adopted?

When I do stand-up for a long time, I'll get burned out, then I'll get an acting gig. For me, the grass is always greener. I'd like to do a mixture of all of it. My goal is just to do small movies that I've written. That's what I'm trying to do now, just write smaller movies.

I like dark comedies. That's why I like the Wayans Brothers.

I do not have a helmet. But this is a wig, so it's a little protective.

Image
I just could just shave my beard, and nobody would recognize me. Although I look like Jodie Foster.

Image
My comfort zone is press conferences.
Zach Galifianakis
Image
I'm not cynical when it comes to things that are important. I'm cynical about pop culture and all that horseshit.

Image
I think those neighborhood signs that say 'slow children playing' are mean.

My father used to beat me with his belt...while it was still on him.

Image
I dream of moving to India, or Pakistan, and becoming a cabdriver.

Image
When a role seems fun it's easy to play. It kind of comes organically.
Zach Galifianakis
Image
People are trying to prove things. And I probably have that. I probably do. Probably guilty of it, in a way.

I'm the most mellow person offstage. I think it's just, going onstage lets me get out some frustration that I'm too shy to do in real life. Instead of doing it in private, I'd rather do it in front of 1,000 people who've paid $25 to see me lose my mind.
